Condair SAM-e, SAM-e Mini XL, and SAM-e Mini
Short Absorption Manifold

The Condair SAM-e family of short absorption manifolds delivers precise, hygienic steam distribution for commercial and industrial humidification applications. Designed to provide rapid steam absorption with minimal absorption distance, the SAM-e ensures uniform humidity control while eliminating condensate spray into the airstream. Manufactured from 304 standard or 316 optional stainless steel and backed by a 10-year warranty, the SAM-e offers reliable, maintenance-free operation for air handling units and duct systems where performance and efficiency are critical.

The standard Condair SAM-e is ideal for larger air handling systems where short absorption distances are required. Integrated steam nozzles within the distributor tubes ensure that only dry, condensate-free steam enters the airflow, while condensate is efficiently removed through the header system. This innovative design eliminates the need for jacketed tubes, simplifies installation, and improves overall energy efficiency. Optional stainless steel insulation can further reduce heat loss, delivering energy savings of up to 70%.

Positioned between the standard and compact models, the Condair SAM-e Mini XL extends the application range with greater installation flexibility. Designed for duct sizes from 24" x 24" to 36" x 36", the Mini XL incorporates an additional condensate connection opposite the steam inlet, simplifying piping layouts and accommodating a wider variety of installation requirements. It delivers the same rapid steam absorption, hygienic operation, and durable stainless steel construction as the rest of the SAM-e family while providing a practical solution for medium-sized duct applications.

For the smallest duct systems, the Condair SAM-e Mini provides the same proven technology and performance in a compact footprint. Available for duct sizes from 8" x 8" to 24" x 24", the SAM-e Mini is specifically engineered for installations where space is limited but humidity control requirements remain demanding. With flexible vertical or horizontal installation options and factory-assembled configurations available, the SAM-e Mini offers a simple, reliable solution for compact HVAC systems and retrofit projects.
